Théo Espinasse and Fantic Factory Racing Enduro claimed the French Élite E3 title, as Thibault Giraudon secured the bronze medal, bringing the 2026 season to a successful close.

With already five wins under his belt, Théo Espinasse headed into the final round of the French Enduro Championship in Langogne leading the E3 standings. The Fantic Factory Racing Enduro rider handled the pressure well, putting in a solid performance to seal the deal with two second-place finishes and claim a well-deserved title.

The celebrations did not stop there for Fantic, as Thibault Giraudon secured the bronze medal with a third-place finish on the final race day of the season, following his fifth place on Saturday. This had only briefly interrupted the Fantic pairing’s otherwise perfect run of double podiums on their Fantic XE 300 machines.

Rounding off an impressive team effort, Fantic Factory Racing Enduro also wrapped up the French series at the top of the E3 Manufacturers’ Trophy.

Théo Espinasse:

“This one feels good! When you are fighting for a title, it is never an easy race weekend, but we handled the pressure well. Saturday was a good day overall, despite a few minor setbacks, and second place put me in a strong position heading into the decider. Sunday was a little more challenging, with the rain playing a major role. I decided to manage the race and protect second place, knowing it would be enough to clinch the title. It feels great to end the season on a high, and I would like to thank Fantic and my whole team for their support.”
